Farmall Super A start up

I acquired a Super A in the Summer of 17. After much help from the forum here I started it up this week for the first time in about 20 years.
Fired right up and idled great but there is bit more blue smoke than I would like to see. Is there anything that I can do to try and reduce it without taking the engine apart . I really don't think it bad enough for that .
Any comments appreciated as always
Brian
 
What all have you done so far?? ATF treatment?? Worked it any?? Etc. One that has sat 20 years and not run means sticking rings and rust in the cylinders that need to be treated and then run hard to loosen thing up
 
I had the head off and all and the cylinders looked and felt real clean . I had one bent push rod that I replaced and we determined it was caused by a stuck valve. I freed up that valve and used lapping compound on all of them to clean them up .
That is about all I have done other than cleaning and painting
 
I would use it for a time go for a drive in 4th gear at full throttle for half hr or so then see what the plugs look like just mite be ok.
 
A stuck valve to me also says very good chance of having sticking rings so an ATF treatment may well help
